Conklin caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.
Conklin saw one fewer target than backup tight end Jeremy Ruckert, though the latter finished without a catch. Conklin was also on the field for 32 more offensive snaps than Ruckert. With just one catch in each of the Jets' first two games, Conklin looks like he'll be playing a smaller role in the passing game with Aaron Rodgers under center after racking up 87 targets in each of his first two seasons with the team. Conklin's involvement as a receiver will likely remain limited in Thursday's game against the Patriots.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Just one catch on MNF
Rotowire
Conklin caught one of two targets for six yards in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers.
Conklin came up empty on his lone target from Aaron Rodgers, but he caught a pass from backup Tyrod Taylor on the Jets' final possession after Rodgers went to the bench with the game out of reach. No other Jets tight end drew a target, so at least Conklin's safely atop the depth chart, but his lack of targets from Rodgers was disappointing considering Conklin had at least three catches in all but four games last season. Conklin will look to bounce back Week 2 against the Titans.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Week 1 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
I'm curious to see how Conklin does with a healthy Aaron Rodgers, and Conklin has earned exactly 87 targets for three years in a row. It wouldn't be a surprise if Conklin is second on the Jets in targets behind Garrett Wilson, and Conklin could be a low-end starter in PPR this year.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Yet to suit up in preseason
Rotowire
Conklin didn't play in Saturday's 15-12 preseason win over the Panthers.
Conklin has been rested thus far in the preseason along with the Jets' other starting skill players on offense. The Jets haven't gotten much production from the tight end position in Conklin's absence during the exhibition slate, so the 29-year-old tight end seems safely locked into the top spot on the depth chart heading into the 2024 regular season, which will commence after the Jets round out their preseason Saturday, Aug. 24 against the Giants.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Three straight years of 87 targets
Rotowire
Conklin caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Patriots. He finishes the season with 61 catches on 87 targets for 621 yards.
Conklin finished with exactly 87 targets for the third consecutive season, and he caught exactly 61 of those passes for the second time in that stretch. After scoring three touchdowns in each of those previous two seasons, Conklin failed to find the end zone in 2023. He'll likely reprise his role atop the tight end depth chart in the final year of his contract with the Jets next season.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Solid production in loss
Rotowire
Conklin secured all five targets for 46 yards in the Jets' 37-20 loss to the Browns on Thursday night.
Conklin's catch total tied him for second on the night for the Jets, and the veteran tight end checked in as the runner-up in receiving yards as well. Conklin is heading into the regular-season finale against the Patriots on Jan. 7 on a solid run of production, as he's posted at least four catches in four consecutive games while drawing no fewer than five targets since Week 11.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Four grabs in Week 16 win
Rotowire
Conklin caught four of seven targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Commanders.
The veteran tight end finished third on the Jets in catches, targets and receiving yards, but his production and usage paled in comparison to Breece Hall (12-96-0 on 16 targets) and Garrett Wilson (9-76-0 on 15 targets.) Conklin has found a steady role in the offense no matter who's been under center for New York, hauling in three or four passes in five straight games on between five and nine targets. However, he's still looking for his first touchdown of 2023 heading into a Week 17 clash with the Browns.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Seven targets in shutout loss
Rotowire
Conklin caught four of seven targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Dolphins.
Conklin led the team in targets and receiving yards, but nobody on the Jets reached 30 receiving yards as neither Zach Wilson (head) nor Trevor Siemian led any scoring drives. Conklin has caught at least four passes in eight of 14 games, but the veteran tight end has yet to record a touchdown this season. Siemian hasn't thrown a touchdown on 39 pass attempts in 2023, so Conklin's unlikely to snap the touchdown drought in Week 16 against the Commanders, especially if Wilson's unable to play after leaving the loss to Miami in the first half.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: TEs to Sit
Rotowire
Conklin faced the Dolphins in Week 12 and had four catches for 33 yards on five targets. He's still looking for his first touchdown this season, and this is a tough matchup against the Dolphins. Only one tight end has scored against Miami since Week 2, and no tight end has topped 50 receiving yards against the Dolphins since Week 7, including matchups with Travis Kelce, Conklin and Logan Thomas.
Conklin has 15 targets in his last two games and I expect this to be a high-volume pass game against the Dolphins. He's not a top-12 tight end this week but he's the best option other than Likely who is available in more than a third of leagues.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Week 15 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Conklin should continue to get targets from Zach Wilson in Week 15 at Miami, and Conklin has 15 targets in his past two games against Atlanta and Houston. It's not an easy matchup since the Dolphins haven't allowed a tight end to score since Week 7, including matchups with Travis Kelce and Conklin, who was held to four catches for 33 yards on five targets in Week 12. Conklin also hasn't scored a touchdown this year, but he's not a bad flier in deep, PPR leagues given his expected workload.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Tops 50 yards in Week 14 win
Rotowire
Conklin caught four of six targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Texans.
Conklin filled his customary role as the distant third option in New York's passing game behind Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall, who combined for 17 catches, 194 yards and a touchdown on 23 targets. While Conklin has reached 50 receiving yards in six games this season, he has yet to surpass 70 yards in a game or score a touchdown heading into a Week 15 road game against the Dolphins.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
Zach Wilson is back under center for the Jets, and that should help Conklin this week in a great matchup against the Texans. Houston is No. 4 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and Conklin just had nine targets in Week 13 against Atlanta. He has five games this season with at least six targets, and Conklin has scored at least 10 PPR points in four of them, so hopefully he gets a lot of volume this week from Wilson against Houston.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Ready to face Houston
Rotowire
Conklin (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans after logging a full practice Friday.
After being limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, Conklin upgraded to full participation Friday. He'll work as the top tight end for the Jets on Sunday against a Texans defense that has allowed a league-high 81 receptions to the position group.
I would move Conklin to the top priority if Zach Wilson is announced as the Week 14 starter. It's an outstanding matchup and Conklin has shown low-end starter potential with Wilson in the past.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Limited due to hamstring Wednesday
Rotowire
Conklin was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Soft-tissue injuries can be tricky to navigate, but it's encouraging that Conklin was able to practice in some capacity Wednesday. If Conklin can upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday, he could avoid taking a designation into Sunday's home game against the Texans. With C.J. Uzomah (knee) going on injured reserve Wednesday, the Jets' depth chart at tight end behind Conklin consists of Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah (hamstring), the latter of whom was reinstated from IR in a corresponding move.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We'll see who starts at quarterback for the Jets in Week 14, but Conklin is worth adding as a streaming tight end against the Texans in a great matchup. Houston is No. 4 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and Conklin just had nine targets in Week 13 against Atlanta. He has five games this season with at least six targets, and Conklin has scored at least 10 PPR points in four of them, so hopefully he gets a lot of volume this week against the Texans. He's worth adding for up to 5 percent of your FAB.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Does little with nine targets
Rotowire
Conklin caught three of nine targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 13-8 loss to the Falcons.
Conklin actually led the Jets in targets, but he finished third in receiving yards behind Xavier Gipson (77) and Garrett Wilson (50). Regardless of whether Tim Boyle, Trevor Siemian or Zach Wilson starts in Week 14 against the Texans, New York's quarterback will likely have to check it down to Conklin often given the offensive line's inability to buy time and the team's lack of receiving depth.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Four catches in Week 12 loss
Rotowire
Conklin caught four of five targets for 33 yards in Friday's 34-13 loss to the Dolphins.
Conklin finished second behind Garrett Wilson (44) in receiving yards and third behind Wilson (10) and Breece Hall (nine) in targets, as the Jets' offense looked no better in Tim Boyle's first start of 2023 under center. Wide receiver Allen Lazard was a healthy inactive after his recent issues with drops, so Conklin is the clear No. 3 option behind Wilson and Hall in New York's struggling offense heading into a Week 13 home game against the Falcons.
